Almighty Cultivation Supreme

Ji County, in the city. The newly opened Thorn History Mansion was cleaned up, and it was the property of the original county order Zhang Tang. When the county magistrate from a famous family heard that the new assassin was going to take office in Ji County, he hurriedly gave up his mansion and made room for Yuan Xi to prepare, and also found maids and servants to have everything available, and spent a good amount of money.

Zhang Tang didn't do the county order until he was forty years old, which is a bit old at his age. His Zhang family is also a scholarly family in the local area, the family is all scholars, and his ancestors have also been officials in Luoyang, and they also have some real estate and live a wealthy life. But he didn't plan to enter the office before the age of thirty, traveled everywhere, and after the age of thirty, he became a small official, and later Gongsun Zan moved the capital to Yijing, and used Ji County as a backyard, so he thought of promoting a local person to be the county magistrate of Ji County, and selected him. Zhang Tang is cautious, has a good reputation, and does a good job in the position of county commander, but he always feels that he should be mentioned.

He estimated the age of the new assassin, that is, he was in his twenties, and he only achieved this position because of his identity, and being brought to Youzhou was more of a distribution. With such a background and such an age, he should pay great attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, as long as he satisfies him in this, it should be easy to gain trust. is a newcomer, and you always have to have your own henchmen in Youzhou. You have to be the first to get there.

With this in mind, he arranged everything and waited for the new official to take office.

After waiting for several days, Yuan Xi did not arrive. Zhang Tang was also a little unbearable, so he sat in his official office all day, dressed neatly, and then asked his servants to go out to inquire about the situation, and once there was news, he had to greet him at the gate of the city, so as to leave a good impression on Yuan Xi.

On this day, he and his deputies could not wait for a long time, and could not sit still any longer, so they got up and paced, walking up and down the house, sighing and sighing.

"According to reason, it should have arrived, how could it be ......"

As he walked, he stepped into a pit and almost fell.

Han Yan of the county next to him said: "Why should you be overly nervous, this Lord Thorn Shi will come when he comes, is it too slow to welcome, and he will still want our lives?" ”

Zhang Tang waved his hand and said, "Brother Han, you don't understand. He settled in Ji County, and in the future, we will do things under his nose, some things, it is better to be cautious, and the small things are the most fatal. These sons of the family pay the most attention to human relations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are nitpicking, so it is better to be careful. ”

Han Yan is in his early thirties, his hair is like ink, his skin is very white, his eyebrows are thick, and there is a large black mole on his face, and the whole face is like a splashed ink painting, black and white are very distinct. His family is also a big local family, smart since childhood, and good at reading. It's a pity that he is not skilled in the way of being an official, and his family takes care of everything for him and goes to Luoyang to be a petty official, but he offends people and has to come back to be a petty official.

Han Yan said: "These families are just appearances. said that he had arrived on the ninth day of the first month, but he had not seen anyone on the fifteenth. It doesn't look like a person who can carry the burden, and when the time comes, I am afraid that our brothers will have to work under him. ”

Zhang Tang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Shhh, how can Brother Han say that?" Beware of partition walls with ears. Secretly seriously injuring Shangguan, this is a big taboo. ”

The beard on Han Yan's mouth twitched, and he grinned: "Anyway, I'm a small official, so it's a big deal to quit, and it's okay to go home and study all kinds of things." ”

"Brother Xian, be cautious!"

As he was talking, an errand runner came in and said in a loud voice, "Coming, coming." ”

Zhang Tang hurriedly straightened his clothes and asked, "Coming?" Where is it? ”

Human: "Right outside the door!" ”

"How can that be?" Zhang Tang glared at him and reprimanded: "I asked you to monitor the pedestrians outside the city, and once you find a carriage procession passing by, report it to me, so that I can go to the city gate to greet you, why did you let you go all the way into the city and not come to announce?" ”

When he learned that people were waiting outside the yamen, he hurriedly prepared to go out to greet him, but he was very dissatisfied with his subordinates.

The errand officer was a little aggrieved, and said, "They didn't let me come back first to inform the adults, and insisted that I take them into the city." A contingent of more than 200 people was stationed outside the city. ”

Zhang Tang frowned and said, "More than two hundred? How can there be so many? He was about to cross the threshold as he took a step, when he suddenly collided head-on with someone coming in front of him.

"Ouch!" Both of them shouted at the same time.

The person who came was Yuan Xi's other subordinate, Lu Da.

"Could this be the county magistrate Lord Zhang?"

"Exactly...... Xia Guan has seen the second son. ”

Lu Da hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I'm not...... It was my son-in-law who asked me to inform Mr. Zhang first, and there were a few things that Mr. Zhang had to cooperate. ”

As Yuan Xi's subordinate, Lu Da has no official position, and he speaks more tactfully. But Zhang Tang still took his hand very enthusiastically and said: "If the second son has anything to order, please just explain, and I will let someone do it immediately." The place to live has been prepared, let's go and see it together, if there are things to add, we can arrange it......"

Lu Da didn't listen to what he said, and when he was by Yuan Xi's side, he had developed the habit of speaking neatly and neatly, never paying attention to the superficial set of human feelings, but just said: "The first thing is to let all the county orders gather in Ji County and hold ......a meeting."

"Meeting?"

Zhang Tang and Han Yan exclaimed at the same time, this word was new, they had never heard it, but they understood the meaning for a while.

"But the boundary of this Youzhou is too big, and the farthest county order is more than ten days away from here? This back and forth......"

Lu Da said expressionlessly: "What the second son ordered, we just need to do it." He said that if anyone arrived later than him, the county order should not be done. ”

Zhang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately his nest was here, and he didn't have to go back and forth like other county orders. He hurriedly said: "It's simple, I'll let people notify you." If you take the post road, you will be notified very quickly. ”

"The second thing is a merit search order, which will be posted today."

"Merit Order?"

Zhang Tang and Han Yan exclaimed again and glanced at each other.

When Lu Da left, Zhang Tang still didn't slow down for a long time. Holding the bamboo slip in his hand, he was speechless.

Han Yan said: "The words are a bit superficial, but the matter is very clear. Although this order for seeking talent is not as sincere as Qin Xiaogong's words, it is also concise and to the point. Before, we were worried that he was a gentleman and didn't do anything. Now it seems that this Lord Thorn is not the kind of person who has nothing to do, and seeing his thirst for talent, he also wants to do something big...... Why are adults still worried? ”

Zhang Tang frowned and said, "This second son of Yuan is still too young to think about it. You see, when he has just taken office, no one else knows who he is, how can he be virtuous? The real talent will only wait and see silently. With his identity as a Yuan family, his nationality is unknown, how can he recruit any great talents? ”

Han Yan nodded slightly and said, "This is also true." ”

Zhang Tang said: "What's more, if you can't recruit talents, it's just a joke, at most our Youzhou fathers and elders will lose face." If we recruit someone, we two parents will be derelict in our duties. Let me ask, since there are talents, why not be recommended by us, but recruited by the second son himself? ”

Han Yan sighed and said, "My lord is very thoughtful. However, the envoy also said just now that this second son of Yuan ordered to do it, just let the people below do it, I'm afraid I won't be able to hear your opinion. How good is that? ”

Zhang Tang said: "I have a way. As long as we post the talent search order in a remote corner, then it will neither attract attention nor lose face. When no one sees it, naturally no one will apply, and we can also infer that there is indeed no talent, and it has also avoided the fault of being virtuous. ”

Han Yan frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is not good, that person also said just now, the things that this second son has explained must be completed to the letter." If such a perfunctory thing is discovered, wouldn't it be ......"

Zhang Tang said: "Isn't it what? Rest assured, Brother Xian. I did exactly what he told me to do, but I chose a different place, and it was not a big deal, and he would not have noticed it. ”

So he called a servant.
